"Do You Use Recycled Products?"
Click on one of the categories above to see examples of some of the many products you can buy with recycled content. Items for your home, garden, school and office, spare-time activities, and even stylish things to wear are made with materials you might otherwise throw away. Don't know what labels to look for when shopping for recycled products? Click on the shopping cart to learn more about recycling terms and symbols.

RECYCLED PRODUCTS are everywhere -- at home, in your family's garden, at school, in the playground, and even in the clothing we wear. Checking labels and buying goods with recycled content will help us "close the loop" and make recycling work. The paper, plastic, metal cans you separate and recycle at the curb find new life in new products. Everything from pencils to computers, shoes to fleece jackets, and much more are made with recycled materials.

PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT. When you buy products made from recycled materials, you help conserve precious resources and eliminate waste from landfills.
